UN Monitors Dispute Syrian Rebel Claims of Police Killings

Violence in Syria is continuing today, with rebels from an unknown faction kidnapping a number of Shi’ite Lebanese pilgrims (either 11 or 13 depending on the source). The Free Syrian Army denied any role in the kidnapping, while speculating that the regime probably did it.

Sunni militant factions linked with the rebels have repeatedly attacked Shi’ite targets across the nation, accusing them of being in league with the Assad regime. President Assad is a member of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi’ism.

A different UN convoy did come under attack in Homs, according to reports from a Syrian TV station. There were no injuries but the footage showed a damaged UN vehicle. This would be the fifth attack against UN monitors since last month, including one in which the Free Syrian Army captured several monitors, claiming it was “for their own protection.”

Absurdity in Syria. If one is to believe the "activists", it is Syrian government that is doing all the killing, including its own supporters and own police and military. The nice masked men with guns and rocket-propelled grenades never, ever killed anyone!

This is blame game played by everyone on everyone for just having something to blame the reality on the ground, there is no word from any of these “rebeles” that US or NATO mercenaries are present in the region, nor they are saying a word about their connections with Al Qaeda and Wahhabis whom are supported by Saudis and UAE regimes such as Bahrainis whom in turn supporting these thugs. One thing is for sure here and that is: The syrian government have passed and encouraged people to vote on it reformed Syrian constitutions for broader political engagement by all sides, yet non of these elements are willing to participate but they are good in blaming everything and everyone for their and their bosses stupidities. Look in one demonstration alone 11 million Syrian people demonstrated for god, Syria and Bashir Al Assad and I wonder where the hell was CNN or for that matter ABC and BBC and rest of the sold soles of reporting the truth about the truth, where was the EU and US democratic political parties demanding their respective government to act and demand an answer from Hillary Clinton, Rasmussen and the entire NATO oppressive and biased foreign policy conducted by these people.
